Religion, socio-cultural dynamics and geographical location are the factors that bond Turkey with Middle Eastern countries since many years. In respect to this, Turkey and especially Istanbul stands as the modern statue of Islamic community. As a result of these connections, the demand for the Turkish destination from these countries have been enormously increasing year by year. Currently, for Turkish industry players, this demand becomes the major force for income.
